Instructions
Step-by-step guide to making this recipe
1

Put the broth in a large pot, and bring to a boil.

2

Separately, combine eggs, cheese, and parsley, and beat until the cheese and parsley are moistened.

3

Once the broth is at a rolling boil, use a whisk to set the fluid whirling.

4

Slowly add the egg mixture, keeping the broth at a boil so the egg cooks quickly.

5

Remove from heat, and add pepper.

6

Serve immediately, or reheat and serve very hot.

Notes
  • Since Parmesan cheese is salty, it's unlikely you'll need to add more salt for flavour.
